"Drink beer, the custom of the land! Beer he drank, seven goblets. His spirit was loosened, he became hilarious. His heart became glad and his face shone." --From Epic of Gilgamesh, 3rd century B.C.
 

Dan Geller Smells Like Doodies

4/1/07

I went out to hear music the other night at Caledonia, and Dan Geller was standing in front of me. Very big deal, let me tell you. Dan Geller is in the band I am the World Trade Center and he also DJs at the Go Bar. One time I went to the Go Bar when he was DJing and he played the song "Crazy" by Gnarles Barkley. The song had just come out, and it made everyone dance, and I overheard Dan Geller say to someone, "This song slams!" or something like that. He bounced his large head around when he said that. Two weeks later I was at the Go Bar again and he was DJing and I recalled my previous positive experience there with "Crazy," so I went up to the DJ table and requested "Crazy," assuming that my request would be honored since that song "slam[med]" and all. But Dan Geller looked at me and rolled his eyes and said, "Ugh, that song's so played out," and I walked away feeling really good, because it always feels good to have a short man with a large head speak to you condescendingly about music that he can't seem to make up his mind about.

Anyway, I was thinking about this as I was standing behind Dan Geller at the Caledonia. He was standing with one of the musicians from the band that I wasn't there to see, and looking around a lot. I could barely see around his large head.
